S70 fuel economy or lack of it...

Probably just the belt; the water pump should be fine upwards of 100K+. Check for any shaft play in the pump just to make sure.

Your car is going to use the mechanical tensioner; that needs to be changed as well.

On the Spring seats, read that the ones I need are from an XC 90, are the OEM the ones to purchase or KYB or Moog on ebay a good replacement? If the OEM is the way to go, can anyone provide a part number??
Are they upper and lower?
Thanks again

Go with either OEM or the heavy-duty versions from IPD.

This is one of those sensitive spots where aftermarket parts wear out very quickly.

Found a number 30683637 for the spring seats
Checked in FCP Grouton and they have OEm for the s-70 but aftermarket for the XC90..
Will check IPD

Why wouldn't you get the OE S70 part, since you have an S70?

Read here in the forum that the XC90 part is much better, since its heavy duty.

I'd go for the brand-new HD ones from IPD, for an S70.

I'd still pick the OE for the S70 over an aftermarket or used for the XC90.
